Ground Zero Memorial

Also while in NYC, we visited the ground zero memorial. It was breathtaking. There were two giant fountains built down into the ground to represent the North and South towers. These fountains used an unbelievable amount of water and just looked like a waterfall room. All 4 walls sucked up water from the bottom and dropped it down into a giant square shaped pool with a smaller square cut into the middle. It's mind boggling thinking of how the architects and builders made these fountains so unbelievably huge. Also in the memorial was the only tree left standing after the tragedy of 9/11. It had clearly been nursed back to health and it was being supported by many different pots and ropes to keep it standing tall and straight. This tree wasn't large at all, which is what surprised me. That a small little tree could survive an event such as a plane attack and falling buildings. I think they had named the tree but I don't remember exactly what it was. It was definitely a fighter.
